They got used in projects because they usually worked fine after a tad of oiling.
Have you checked out the circuit breaker on your set? Are you getting B+ ?
When I first opened my shop, I had the misfortune of having 3 Maggie Entertainment Centers all at the same time come in for service. I couldn't move in the repair shop area without running into one. Long story short, I wound up owning 2 of them. Replaced CRT's on both, cleaned the controls and tuners and sold both of them and never saw either of them again. I like to think they are still playing somewhere...
Good luck with this, Timmy

who knows maybe this set is one you sold. finishing the cabinet little more on the stereo tuner then the tv chassis.ill post pics when its done. tubes, breaker, caps, resistors left to go on the chassis and solder joints all have to be done yet.crt was replaced with an rca hylite and tests very good so it should look good. and i also got a spare flyback should i need it in the future.is there any secrets i should know about these maggies besides the stereo tuner being positive ground, i found out with a venting cap. the turn table runs but it needs a needle which i may have one and also needs cleaning up as well and the center spacer to play 45s is missing which is the only thing missing from the whole set.
